I am building an HTPC to connect to a Full HD 37" LCD TV. I am thinking of using MythTV with an appropriate linux distribution (one that includes pre-built binaries of MythTV). The HTPC will have a high def satellite pci card : DVB-S2 and a regular DVB-S card (both linux compatible)...

The title says it, need to reinstall it since windows became too bloated/sluggish in time once again, my linux installation is fine so it's not a hardware related issue. I had just downloaded the GUI GPU client and running my XT@XTX speeds to speed up the progress, wondering how should I...

A friend of mine needs help on how to setup his sata dvd-rw (abit serillel adapter) with his DFI RD600 board. The dvd-rw worked fine previously on an intel 975X board (AW8D-Max) but is no longer detected by Windows since the hardware change. My friend can't spot the burner in the bios as well so...

It's not listed as compatible on zalman's website but it's not listed as incompatible either, that's why I'm asking. Perhaps the list is not updated ? According to Xbitlabs, 8800 GTS draws 105W under 3D load and X1950XTX draws 124W under 3D load so I don't think heat dissipation is a problem but...

Can I crossfire this with that I know it's possible to use crossfire X1900 with x1950XTX but the X1950XTX doesn't have the two internal connectors for crossfire like the XT version, which I think shows the XT version prolly has a different core...

Which one is better ? I can get one of these used from a friend for a good price. Here is the deal : 1- Crossfire support for X1900XT ( I will definetaly go mad if I get pwned playing UT 2007 because of low fps ) . Asus only has 4X signal on 2nd pci-e, will that be a bottleneck for X1900XTX...

I downloaded the GPU client last night and left it on, when I checked it this morning it was like 13 mil / 25 mil but then I changed a simple setting and boom, it's back to fricken zero :mad: I am willing to fold 8-10 hours a day since I have an x1900 video card that just sits there when I'm...

Is it absolutely impossible to implement a cooling solution that will allow using two X1900 in Crossfire mode ? How does one go about doing that ? Is it a much better idea to wait for a Crossfire mATX board to use with a SG-01. I've postponed my SFF dreams so far and I want my next upgrade to be...

I am planning to OC my rig soon, my system is definetaly bottlenecking my graphics and I'm planning to go the dual-gpu route in the future so I think I need every drop of juice I can get out of my system. To begin with, I am buying a scythe ninja and better memory than the crap I have atm. I...

When will all the distros put their heads together and decide on a kernel with absolute hardware support for certain select hardware and save us a lot of trouble picking parts for our tux boxes. The idea is simple, all major distros decide to implement support for certain hardware in the kernel...

Is there a way to watercool the cpu and/or gpu(s) on a SG01 without so much clutter and very few dremmel work (and work of other skilled labor) ? Has anyone successfully watercooled one of these cases while keeping most of the parts inside the case ? If so, pics would be most welcome explaining...

Has anyone used one of those bios tweaking tools for editing graphics cards bios for more voltages or tweaking timings for the gddr memory? Can they be used safely? For example, If the modification states to increase the vcore by 0.1, is the actual increase likely to be 0.1 or can it go all...

somebody is going to have a hard time explaining to their parents that this is a watercooling system :p

I had seen this virtual dj board on TV a couple months ago which seemed out of this world. It was controlled by solid objects (rectanle, triangle blocks) placed on a projected image. It had a camera that sensed the change in the positions of these blocks. A certain block controlled the speed of...

I always read these people who get Dells with 2x20" displays and baddest sound systems and lots of extra stuff and they always pay very little money considering the system they purchased because they have gotten this coupon for $600 off and that coupon for a free display etc... Are these coupons...

How can you tell if one core is a beast and the other is a log? Does it ever happen when one core can be stable at much higher frequencies than the other? How can you find this out, is there a way that you can overclock the two cores separately? I have socket 940 DC opterons and I don't intend...

I think it would be really nice to see different OEM manufacturers evaluated from a workstation owners point of view. [H]ardOCP would be doing a great job in separating the wheat from the chaff for people like me -who assemble their workstations themselves- and show if we could really benefit...
